4 Ideas for your social media marketing
1. The golden rule for social content
Everyone loves to follow their favorite celebrities on social media, but why should they like and follow your business?. Here comes the golden rule of social media success for every business.
Just take a look at your daily interactions with your digital devices.
1. Education posts (News, blogs, Facts)

The golden rule is that you as a business either educate or entertain your audience. Choose your game.
2. Gamify your social media content
Gamification is the popular content trend that’s getting popular daily as humans love games and having fun. Businesses producing content tease your audience’s brain for a while, making them stick to your brand and engage for a long time.
Too much gamification makes your content monotonous. So be clear when to post. You can even run contests and create personalized coupons for people commenting or answering the correct answer.
Mcdonald’s is a brand that engages with gamification in its social media post.
3. Share more User Generated Content (UGC)
People love content that comes from humans, that involves humans sharing some user-generated content like testimonials, behind the scenes, or just coming to life and speaking to your audience.
